was the auction a benefit or jsut for profit?

12:38 am

stidmama

just wanted to say hello again, and my best friend from college dropped by spontaneously and is spending the night, which has helped my mood ever so much, and has also made me stay up an hour past my bedtime...

12:38 am

Jellen

The auction was to liquidate the stock for the antique store...

12:38 am

stidmama

*worried mama look* I killed the chat?

3:37 am

Lisa left yastday morning and, all in all, it was a great visit. We made peace; she didn't snoop (I don't think"; and all is well!

3:38 am

rubyfoo

many

3:38 am

Soodle

Well thats just great, Ruby.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

3:39 am

Soodle

I think its only me and you, and I won't tell if you don't..... :-)

3:39 am

rubyfoo

didn't improve her father's mood much, but it was a good break for me

3:39 am

lizmac

No, it isn't...hee hee, thank you!!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, it was an easy word!

3:40 am

Soodle

Lol Hi Liz :-)

3:40 am

rubyfoo

this is a friendly grid, at least for the first 50 words!

3:40 am

lizmac

but one I didn't have.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

hi lizmac!

3:40 am

Soodle

I'm after getting 4 x 8-letter words in a row!!!

3:40 am

lizmac

Hi both (?all)

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I love all the builders

3:44 am

Soodle

Ruby - no matter that Burt is still cranky. At least you can't be accused of being churlish.

3:44 am

cathy22w

hey all

3:44 am

cathy22w

i agree with the 'easy for the first 50 words' comment...lol

3:44 am

Soodle

Morning Cathy :-)

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and he was very grateful that she and I made peace and she was grateful and appreciative that I am taking care of him

3:45 am

lizmac

RUBY !!! We all admire builders discreetly, but it's undignified to publicise the fact.Ogle furtively please !!

3:45 am

rubyfoo

hi cathy, I'm actually up to 70 with no clues from anybody, unheard of for me

3:45 am

rubyfoo

sorry, lizmac! I didn't mean to advertise the news!

3:45 am

cathy22w

lol ruby....wtg!

3:46 am

Soodle

ROFL Liz. (I was also thinking about builders' bums....)

3:46 am

rubyfoo

sorry, literal-minded me didn't get the joke; I'm just too old I guess

3:47 am

lizmac

Nah, we don't like builders' bums, we like 'em young and fit...coke ad types.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

if you saw (and smelled) the builders here, you'd change your mind

3:48 am

lizmac

Ruby, unless you're 259 you're NOT too old.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:49 am

Soodle

Liz - I'm getting a mental image of Dick Emery's character Hetty....Do you rememeber her?

3:51 am

lizmac

Yep. Did you see Harry Enfield's characters of randy old ladies......"young man" was their catch phrase.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

amen to that!

3:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

I see lots of phantoms. Cistern.

3:58 am

Soodle

It always baffles me how I can see phantoms as clear as day, yet actual words seem to elude me....

3:58 am

rubyfoo

but sometimes the phantoms are more interesting....

3:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's the nature of phantoms.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

or even sister

3:59 am

'Read my red eye' is a phrase hopping out at me....

4:12 am

4:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

No- drugs.

4:13 am

redturtlehead

I have, err...61. but...I just began. its the fun time where there are jillions to find.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

hahah kaplan

4:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have 260 but I do wish I had been sleeping instead of babbling.

4:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have to work on Fridays but really.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

my husband wok me at 5 with his puttering around. I gave him an earful, took a pill, and went back to sleep. He's on a totally ridiculous schedule -- takes napes during the day or while I cook dinner and then gets up too early. VERY annoying

4:14 am

rubyfoo

that message sounds like it was written in English as a 3rd language!

4:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

Do you take them every day, or just now and then?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

since 9/11 I take them (not many) when I feel anxious

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I need 8 hrs sleep which I don't think is unreasonable

4:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

I obsess. I also need about 9 hours of sleep.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

before I took xanax, I would awaken at 2AM and start obsessing and be unable to go back to sleep

4:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

You can't imagine that anyone in Babbleland has a touch of OCD, can you?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

they really help and have no after-effects (not like sleeping pills) and don't seem to be addictive

4:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Me too. I was obsessing about obsessing.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

even my dog has OCD!

4:18 am

Soodle

OCD???? I think I fell out of the OCD tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

4:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

Xanax are actually addictive if overused, (benzodiazepine) but who cares?

4:18 am

redturtlehead

Xanax is actually one of the most addictive anti-anxiety medications out there.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

what is considered overuse? Now I'm worried, am probably an addict and will start knocking over convenience stores.....

4:19 am

redturtlehead

I wouldn't worry about it ruby.

4:19 am

Dachef

I fell out of the OCD tree and hit every third branch that wasn't pointing north or south (in that order) on the way down, obviously avoiding the ones with leaves that were in any way not green.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I guess I better take one to stop worrying -- just kidding!

4:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

Do NOT worry. Take as prescribed. I worry too, but I'd rather not have nights like these.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

down anybody else count stuff?

4:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

I count syllables of songs on my fingers.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I count out dog treats and have taught my Ruby to count to 9!

4:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

And I obsess about my schedule.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

tht's how many "treats" she gets at cocktail time

4:21 am

rubyfoo

rets

4:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

In the OCD spectrum, I am more O than C.

4:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

Stop that Ruby!

4:22 am

rubyfoo

bad ruby, diving into the (dreaded) paperwork now as my punishment

4:22 am

rubyfoo

4:22 am

Soodle

While waiting for traffic lights to turn, I count. If they turn on an even number - good day. Beware if they turn on an odd number (!!)

4:22 am

Soodle

((((Bye Rubes))))

4:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

I obsess about Yetta.

4:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

No, I don't really.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

this is very interesting. Maybe being ocd helps play OR maybe we play because we're ocd!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

who is yetta?

4:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yetta is my icon. She was on a TV show called The Nanny.

4:24 am

redturtlehead

I think the people who insisit on finishing each day at probably the most OCD. I am only compulsive about one thing, and it is nto the game...thank goodness because my ranking is very low!!!!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

they didn't show that on Fr TV

4:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

We don't "be" OCD- we have obsessive cpulsive styles.

4:24 am

Soodle

Sheesh... I thought that pic was YOU Kap LOL

4:25 am

rubyfoo

red: I'll bet it's higher than mine. I only get as many words as I can in two goes and then don't check the lists. The only times I've finished, FM has helped me get the last few

4:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

Why does everyone think that?

4:25 am

redturtlehead

I sometimes use the list, when I can get it down to about 30. but most times I just fall asleep.

4:26 am

Soodle

Dafchef - I hope that you didn't fall out of MY OCD tree. (I'm a bit precious about my OCD tree...)

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I run out of time, like now, hahah! XXXX

4:26 am

rubyfoo

(don't fall out of the OCD tree)

4:26 am

redturtlehead

tooo funny soodle!

4:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

It wouldn't work on French TV- too many Jewish jokes about Flushing, Queens- my hometown.

4:26 am

Dachef

unwritten rule: dont fall out of anyone elses OCD tree. It can really bugger them up.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I'm from Queens Village, Kaplan, and went to Queens College, in Flushing. Do you realize that Flushing is totally Korean now?

4:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

Does an OCD tree count its own leaves?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

only the green ones

4:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

You went to Queens College? I grew up just off Kissena Blvd. I know it's totally Asian now.

4:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

It was just transitioning when I left in 1978 or so.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

that is funny, kaplan, where did you go to high school?

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I went to Martin Van Buren which was totally white then, is totally black now

4:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's a long story. I was zoned for Francis Lewis.

4:29 am

it is one of my favorites. It never fails to make me laugh and it has a lot of unforgettable quotes. My most beloved quotes are: "I am paralysed beyond the capacity for rational thought", "I feel like the floor of a taxi cab" and "Yes it is true... this man has no dick."

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

same here welk

8:23 am

Judi

Oh no!

8:23 am

sprite

true, jmc! And the people at the tax office are nice, actually. We had a problem once and they were so very kind. It is just a tax phobia, grinnn... or something like that!

8:23 am

sprite

wow that sounds terrible, welki. I hope everybody was whole and healthy?

8:24 am

jmcnrick

what?!?! it is hard to burn a car

8:24 am

jmcnrick

i know about tax phobia and so do all the tax collectors

8:24 am

jmcnrick

the cartoons of people bringing bags of unsorted receipts really do happen

8:24 am

welki

that's all the info he shared. i hope that the family is well, too ... and that he doesn't think he's got to put a list up for us if he's having trouble

8:24 am

Mom

oh JMC, not as hard as you think. Someone caught our truck on fire. Of course it wasn't an accident, but a case of mistaken truck

8:25 am

jmcnrick

i also often have clients who come with 5 to 15 years worth of unfiled returns

8:25 am

welki

'no, your honor, i'm not guilty. it's not arson. i torched the wrong truck'

8:25 am

sprite

oh I can imagine, jmc. If I wouldn't force myself, I would postpone until it was too late.

8:25 am

welki

<-- does u.s. and canadian returns

8:25 am

jmcnrick

i had a car on fire once and closed the hood and turned off the motor and it stopped burning

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

8:25 am

roflol welki, must be the lamest defence ever.

8:26 am

jmcnrick

you have to work to burn a car or truck "to the grough"

8:26 am

Mom

8:26 am

jmcnrick

8:26 am

Judi

So, what caused Lickety's vehicle to be consumed?

8:26 am

welki

8:27 am

jmcnrick

yeah all my neighbors cars got grafitti because the nasty piece of work couldn't decide which one was my son's

8:27 am

Mom, everybody torching anyone's truck should be locked away. Idiots.

8:27 am

JBV of course!

8:46 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, Matches.

8:46 am

JBV

I'm interested in what's being said in European media about the crisis in Lampedusa (Sicily) - I watch it on Italian news ,it's not being covered here at all

8:46 am

Judi

"Good assignment visibility" There's a corporate buzz phrase I haven't heard. Oy vey.

8:46 am

72 Temple Owl

what is going on there, bv?

8:47 am

sprite

JBV, maybe this is a good place to read:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-
europe-12816340

8:47 am

JBV

refugees are arriving by the boatload from Tunisia, thousands by now (this has been going on since the TUnisian revolt, now Libyans and others are going through TUnisia to get to Sicily) the island is totally overwhelmed, patience is gone, resources are strained, Italy seems to be alone in this

8:48 am

JBV

thanks, sprite, I'll check it out

8:48 am

JBV

the population of the island was only about 5,000 or so, more than that have arrived - all young single men, trouble is brewing, they are now fighting for food

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

np immigration law? people can ust come in?

8:49 am

JBV

well, I guess they cannot turn them back, TO - their lives are in danger - not sure of the legalities

8:49 am

JBV

Italy is trying to process them out of the island and onto themainland but I was wondering what the other European countries are doing

8:49 am

sprite

it is a small island, and right now there are more refugees than people who actually live there.
TOwl, yes there are laws. But they arrive by boat, and cannot be send back to sea.

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i am embarassed at my lack of current affiar knowledge. know nothign about crisis in tunisia

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

as opposed to yemen, bahrain, libya, etc

8:50 am

JBV

don't be embarrassed, TO - it's our U.S. media - totally ignoring this - I'm afraid something terrible will happen, then it will be news here

8:51 am

JBV

well, Tunisia was the first (back in January or February I think) so the refugee problem has been brewing for a while

8:51 am

Haz1558

I think they're all the same type of crisis, although Libya's is causing more of a worldwide reaction.

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

cnn decides what is news and what is not.

8:51 am

sprite

yes they get help, JBV. The European Union is pitching in. Medical and food help is already active. Also political talks about how to distribute the refugees more fairly.

8:52 am

JBV

ok, that's what I was wondering about, Sprite - thank you - I will also keep up with the BBC news

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

is your family in/near that city?

8:53 am

JBV

some enterprising reporter ought to land on Lampedusa and get some shocking video - then they will air it

8:53 am

JBV

No, TO, but Sicily is the next stop (Lampedusa is closer to Africa)

8:53 am

Haz1558

A kind of show and tell?

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

are yo unhappy becaue you feel the us is not helping there?

8:54 am

JBV

no, not the U.S., TO - I meant the European Union

8:54 am

JBV

it should not be just Italy's problem

8:55 am

JBV

There'll be aid available, it's probably just the logistics that will need to be sorted out.

8:56 am

Judi

Perhaps it would be easier if the UN, Nato, EU and others could get together and schedule future crisis. Phffth.

8:57 am

the thing is, I've been reading about this for at least a month or more, it's just getting worse now because of Libya

Did you ever get some sleep, kap? I saw this morning that you'd been up pretty much all night.

Ambien works for me . I'd rather have a slight dependence than have nights of insomnia.

4:59 pm

hurshy

oh i agree. you just can't sleep when you're puking. i ended up on klonopin instead.

4:59 pm

uusue2

I used it for quite a while, kap, and it worked ok for me (until my doc told me I couldn't be taking it every night - I had insomnia every night so I didn't see why not, but there you are).

4:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It is hard to knock me out.

4:59 pm

Hi there, car.

8:19 pm

MollyL

Car, I think I just got that whole "Judgment Day" musical number. It wasn't about that Cuddy might die, it was about House being judged for his bad behavior.

8:19 pm

Molly... I thought it was more about Cuddy....and that she liked the "wild ride" that is house

8:20 pm

red... did you see my post about the recorded temp

8:20 pm

car.eeyore

hmmmm....interesting

8:20 pm

I did The Game On Diet. www.thegameondiet.com Played against running friends, which meant competition...worked like a charm.

And apologizes for the rudeness of my behavior to any floor nurses who are lurking.

8:22 pm

kje

no sympathy from you

8:22 pm

MollyL

I respectfully disagree. Anyone who has ever loved an addict comes to realize that their crazy, unpredictable behavior will always end in heartache. I think that is what this episode was trying to convey. Just my take.

8:23 pm

DR1965

Car- some of them are actually approved for nutrional value for our after school program- how scary is that

8:23 pm

ChampFit

Could you honestly watch them be a couple Moll? No way.

8:23 pm

car.eeyore

Molly...feel free to disagree!

8:24 pm

MollyL

I thought it was dim to make them a couple in the first place. Why do people latch onto strong male/female leads and need them to hunker up?

8:24 pm

ChampFit

DR1965...my school district is only concerned about fat. Sugar? Who cares! Just stay under 30% fat cumulative for the week. GAH!

8:24 pm

car.eeyore

Really...there wasn't much in it for Cuddy....

8:24 pm

DR1965

It is sad - isnt it Champ

8:24 pm

car.eeyore

Don't get me wrong...I love me some House! I meant relationship wise.

8:25 pm

ChampFit

Makes me angry. And then the teachers have issues with kids after lunch. REALLY? DUH!

8:25 pm

MollyL

That was the point of the whole episode. Cuddy realizing that House would never be there for her, especially when it counts, because in House's world, it's all about House.

8:25 pm

car.eeyore

I am eating a non-frosted strawberry pop=tart....1 pastry has 210 calories!

8:25 pm

ChampFit

Car..why?

8:25 pm

car.eeyore

But that is why the show is called "house"!!! LOL!

8:25 pm

ChampFit

As in WHY eat it?

8:25 pm

car.eeyore

House...heading to balcony....

8:26 pm

ChampFit

That freaked me out!!!!

This song, "my body is cage".....saw my niece dance to it last night!

8:27 pm

MollyL

That idea continues in the next episode when Cuddy tells Wilson "When things go wrong, I don't want to hope that I'm not alone, I want to know it." Again, it's someone coming to terms with the fact that they are in love with an addict who will always choose addiction over them.

Car...don't be bad. It sounds trite, but food is fuel. Pop tarts have nothing to offer. You could eat a lot more for 200 calories that would actually hold you over.

8:30 pm

car.eeyore

Old habits die hard....bad day, turning to wrong solution.

8:30 pm

car.eeyore

I will refocus and be better again tomorrow.

8:30 pm

MollyL

My thoughts on House are this...by the end of this season we are going to see redemption for House, or we are going to see him check out. At this point, House seems too self-destructive for redemption.

8:30 pm

ChampFit

I had to eat 5 meals a day, containing a carb, a protein and a fat, and lost weight. it was cool! I was full all the time.

8:31 pm

ChampFit

But Moll, he's the star! He'll do something stupid, but redeem or pretend to, in the end.

8:31 pm

car.eeyore

I actually love that about dieting / eating right....all the smaller meals that keep you going.

Cuddy + House = Functional vs. Dysfunctional. That never works out. Seriously, Cuddy is really going to take him back after he spent the weekend with various hookers? House knows he's not good enough for Cuddy, hence the self-destruction.

It's my daughter's 24th birthday today, or her 21C,as she put it on Facebook. She's in Aussieland at the moment and so got older some hours before she should have done. 21C refers to something I said years ago when being '13' was considered unlucky... ''Be 12A instead!' I said. Thus, '21C' = 24.

hello and excuse the interruption. I have a problem someone might help with. For the past couple of days I get a message when signing on to Babble: "Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet Exporer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive." OK. But if I hit "yes," meaning turn-off-script -- whatever "script" means -- then I get no chog and no total on my Word List. So I'm saying "No" Anyone else have this? Know what "script" is?

9:08 pm

Jacula

jwr - you need to clean your intenet cache.

9:09 pm

jwr

thanks, I'll try that.

9:09 pm

Jacula

The simplest way to do this is to go to http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

9:09 pm

stidmama

a script is a snippet of computer code that causes something to happen, but sometimes isn't essential.

9:09 pm

Shirlockc

they charge for that one

9:09 pm

Shirlockc

ccleaner

9:10 pm

Jacula

stid - cleaning your internet cache daily IS essential, I think.

9:10 pm

stidmama

it can simply be an issue of compatibility, the program that is trying to run having been written for a slightly different version of a browser, for example.

9:10 pm

Shirlockc

you can do a lot of the cleaning yourself

9:10 pm

Jacula

I don't have to pay for cc cleaner, Shirlockc.

9:10 pm

jwr

I though that was the same as deleting browsing history. Are they different?

9:11 pm

Shirlockc

hmmm, i tried it today and they're charged $30 to download

9:11 pm

stidmama

the cache and the history are not the same things

9:11 pm

Shirlockc

it's not that expensive

9:11 pm

Jacula

jwr - yes, you can delete your browing history. That will help a lot.

9:11 pm

Shirlockc

but you can do some of the cleaning if you go to system tools

9:12 pm

Jacula

But the cache needs clearing out, too. I do it daily.
